Future energy
supply and demand:
new assumptions and
perspectives on
future trajectories
The oil and gas industry was paralysed by a combination of a sharp
downturn in energy demand – brought on by COVID related lockdowns and
the associated deep global economic recession, and oversupply. As the
energy sector seeks to recover, it faces huge uncertainties. The eventual
outcome of which, will shape global balances and investment strategies
over the course of the next decade:
• Will oil demand recover to its pre-crisis path?
• How much US shale production will remain economic under the emerging
supply-demand outlook?
• How has the crisis changed the industry’s value-proposition and
business model?
• What are the key lessons learned from the 2020 crisis?

Building future
business resilience
through technology,
innovation and
partnerships
Shocks – both short-term in the form of COVID, and long-term in the form of
the energy transition – are challenging the industry’s profitability and its ability
to create sustained value for investors and governments. New approaches
are required for a sector where “cheaper, cleaner, more efficient” will become
the standard for business resilience and operational success:
• What are the key areas of innovation and technology that offer most
opportunity for an energy sector in transition?
• What options are available to enhance stakeholder value in the long-term?
• How will partnerships be impacted as the industry adapts to a new normal?
• What can the industry learn from the experience of other sectors?
